Warning message when using gpg (The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent)
Last modified: 2015-07-12 19:20:42 UTC
I'm using GNOME 3.12. I get the following warning message when using gpg or the pass password manager (also based on gpg) to decrypt some information: > gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent. > gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work proberly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system! The secret information is successfully decrypted, but I can't make this warning disappear. I found little information on the web: - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1426189 - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.arch.general/51286 My knowledge of GNOME Keyring nd GnuPG is very limited, so I don't know what's the root cause of this problem or how it can be fixed. Please tell me if you need other informations or you need me to do other tests.
GNOME Keyring is open to contributions from the GnuPG authors, if they think it is doing something incorrectly. GNOME keyring has not changed its behavior with regards to GnuPG for a many years now. If the GnuPG authors think it need to change (and they have made some noises in that regard) then GNOME Keyring welcomes constructive contributions in that direction.
I filed a bug on the GnuPG bug tracking system: https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1656
